Dear Pete, AnnMarie, Debbie, Matt, Tara, Jeremy, Bryan, Marie
I wish that I could be with each and everyone of you to hold - to let you know how much I grieve with you. My dear sweet Ponch I will miss you forever. The phone calls to just say I love you Aunt Cat, the many many e-mails that made me laugh. I still can't get my head around this tragedy. My heart aches every day.
No one will ever compare to my Ponchie, my other son, who I loved so very much. Please know I pray for all of you every day for God to ease your pain. Know that I am here for all of you. With love forever, Aunt Cat

My thoughts are with you every day when I think of the passing of Peter. I only knew Pete for a short time but in that short time I saw the true inspiration that he truely was. He lightened up the office with his sparkling personality. I miss seeing him at the gym and our talks about nutrition. Ann Marie, you truely are a great Mom for having such a wonderful son.
Warmest wishes to you,

Pete, My bro just can't believe you are gone. It seems as if just yesterday you told me you found one of the freestyle tapes i made you from high school. All the memories we had will always stay with me. My heart aches of pain because you was so young and had alot more to your life. May god bless you where ever you are and your family. Words couldn't explain the the sorrow i'm feeling now. Love Raul Anthony Ortiz (D.J. Swift)

Aunt Ann Marie, Uncle Pete, Debbie, Tara and Bryan - and all those who loved and knew Ponch -- I hope you are all doing well. My thoughts and prayers are still with you all. I miss you all and wish I was closer to be there with all in your time of need, but living so far away doesn't make that possible. Please know that I think of all of you each and every day. Like I said in my first entry, may the togetherness of you all give you all some comfort --we are a close knit family and will get through this. I love all of you very much. Love, Poncho's first cousin Jody in North Carolina

Pete, Anne- Marie and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
Pete was such a special person. I don't think I could even begin to count the many times he made me smile or laugh. He had a wonderful way of letting his friends and family know that he cared about them and I think that is one thing that we could all learn from him. I will miss him deeply.

To My Little Brother....,Pete
I can't believe you were taken from us, but I have to believe it was your time, that God needed you. That is the only way that I can get threw this, because you were just taken too soon. Your life was just beginning. I promise you that I will always be there for Jessica, Kayleigh and Evan, no matter what.
I know I gave you a hard time for such a long time, but it was only because I loved you so much, and only wanted the best for you. You were such a special person.
I am so glad that I got to see you every day at work. It's really going to be so hard to go back there without you.
I am also so glad that I talked to you on Christmas eve, but I just wish I talked to you longer, you did tell me you loved and that I will always remember.
I love you so much!!!!!!
Love your big sister,
Debbie
P.S. I promise I'll take care of your jacket

I spoke to Peter almost every day on the phone - he was so warm and funny -we always laughed and he was so happy working in the office with his family- he was a kind, honest and sweet man who will me missed by so many. He had a wonderful mother and father who loved him more than words... and siblings who always supported him and loved him...I know he felt lucky to have you all in his life. I will never forget his smile and his kind voice... AnnMarie you and your family are so loved by everyone at Nationwide- I received so many calls from agents asking for you... everyone wants to help and offer support. I hope you know I love you all and will always be there for all of you-

Pete and I met a few times, but one time stands out in my mind the most. This day, he showed me so much strenth and courage, and we barely knew each other. He has no idea how much he did for me that one day, but he will never be forgotten. He truely was a special man, and he will be greatly missed by many friends. My sympathy goes out to his loving family.

I spent some time filing with Ponch while working at Ann Vogel Insurance many moons ago, and had the pleasure of hanging out with him outside of work as well. More then once he told me how much he loved his family and what his family meant to him...Ponch was an incredible caring person (lets not forget to mention sweet, funny, and charming), and therefore liked by all that met him. His passing is a terrible unexpected loss...
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends in thier time of need.
To his family- remember that you are not alone in this mournful time, the Lord is with you; fix your heart on the knowledge that his arms are wrapped around you and that he will NEVER leave you.
With all my heart,
Toni

Peter, my big brother, what can I say? I love you. You were taken too soon from us all. You were so happy and just starting a new beginning with your family.
We miss you so much. We don't understand why this happened. It will be so hard to get through. Mom and Dad are doing OK, we're all going to get through this together.
We love you too much. You were such a special person to so many. You were the best father...the best brother and friend. Life is too short but your memories will live on forever. I'm so glad we had the chance to work together and spend our days at the office. I'll never forget my birthday present and there will never be another "SOIB" like you!!! I don't know how to go back without you. It will be so hard. I'll miss sushi Friday's and casual Friday's...all of your funny notes and fast hard to read hand writing :) All the fun we had... we laughed so much. You were truly one of a kind Ponch. And I will miss you forever. I will never forget.
We will never let Kayleigh forget her daddy....you loved her so much. You just wanted your family. You took such good care of them. You finally had everything!!! You told us all how special your son, Evan, was!!! You couldn't wait to spend every second with him. You were so in love with your family. Your life was just beginning.
Pete, we'll never forget you or let your children forget. They have the best daddy in the world. We love you and will see you again one day. Please watch over us all....our angel.
Love always and forever,
Tara, Jeremy and Griffin
PS - Don't forget to say I Love You before you go...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
